Epson Sure Color Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson Sure Color delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
The Epson Sure Color tracks waste ink with an internal counter. Because it is an estimate (not a physical sensor), it may trigger before the pads are actually full.
Why Does the Epson Sure Color Show ‘Service Required’?
With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson Sure Color waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.
